Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen

Copper in color with a good sized off-white head. Aroma is of fruits, sweet malts, caramel and lightyeast and bread dough. Taste is caramel, yeast, biscuit, a little nuttiness, and sweet malt.

500 ml bottle. Pours very orangey copper colour. Decnt head, slightly off white in colour, leaves nice lacing. Aroma not particularly strong, flavour is malty, sweet, hint on honey. Colour is a bit off putting, very orange. Quite drinkable.

2008 Bottle. A very good marzen, but not the best. Wonderful aroma, full and malty. Nice amber appearance with little head. Tastes of well-roasted malts and a quickly dissipating hoppy aftertaste. Appropriately oily palate, so as to leave you satisfied without a weird aftertaste lingering. Well done, as always, Ayinger.

sweet and malty, lots of nice caramel, littkle bit of honey, not much on the hop front. still very good.

Poured an attractive copper color with nice white head that lasted a while. Aroma was of sweet malt, caramel, and just a bit of hop aroma. Flavor is pretty much the same with the sweetness being offset by just a bit of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is good. Beer is good, but I’ve had much better O-fests.

Bottle, Christmas gift. Poured an orange, light amber color with a medium to large, long lasting off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, bread, fruit, yeast and vanilla. One of the best tasting of the style that I have had. Alot of sweentess, caramel and bread in the forefront, with a touch of earthy bitterness in the finish. A long and pleasing aftertaste. Nice session beer.

Pours an off-white head with some lace and a clear, pale amber body. Aromas of grassy hops and toffee. Flavor is butter, caramel, corn, malt. Dry finish.

Pours a light amber with quite a bit of head. Strong caramel malt flavor that finishes slightly bitter. Pretty decent Octoberfest brew.
